The general manager of the Indiana,
Bloomington & Western road, states
that the interstate law will cut down
the earnings of the line the present
year $200,O0O. AS all the roads in the
country are doing an exceptionally
large business it seems fair to assume
that the patrons of the road receive the
benefit of the $2OO,OOO which the road
loses. If so it would be we'll to score
another point in favor of the interstate
law.

Mrs. Cleveland f1uttered quietly
down on Massachusetts soil Tuesday,
and is now the guest of Gen. A. w.
Greedy at the pretty little Plymouth
county village of Marion, overlooking
Buzzards bay. Mrs. Cleveland, accom-
panied by her mother, Mrs. Folsom,
her aunt, Mrs. Walsh, and Gen. Greedy
and wife, were passengers on the
steamer Pilgrim from New York to
Fall River Monday night. Self consti-
tuted committees of women have con-
ferred as to the propriety of rendering
in some way the hospitality of the
town to Mrs. Cleveland, but no plans
have been made public. 1t is thought
that Mrs. Cleveland will not care to
have any public demonstration, and
that she desires simply a season of
quiet.
